"LET'S NOT POLITICIZE THIS, OKAY?"

You want to expand the Supreme Court? Elect Democratic supermajorities.

You want to end Citizens United? Elect Democratic supermajorities.

There really is no other way.

- There are 2,083,000 registered voters in Iowa
- Of those 2,083,000, 718,000 are registered Republicans
- Only 102,000 out of those 718,000 voted yesterday
- Of the 102,000 who cast ballots, only
53,219 voted for the angry yam
-The angry yam got roughly 2.5% of the vote
2.5% does not speak for the entire country.
Don’t play into the media’s fear mongering.
Keep cool, stay informed, and most importantly, VOTE!

Calling all LGBTQ Friends & Allies 🏳️‍🌈
There is a Bookstore that needs encouragement & support because they are being targetted by gentrifiers trying to shut them down just because they are offering support to those who are unhoused in the neighborhood.

I grew up in this poor area of Manhattan where the sense of community has been strong no matter your condition.

@Graci I find this shocking and horrifying. We are being targeted not just because we are convenient enemies but we lack the numbers and therefore political power to pose a significant threat.

This is how genocidal campaigns against minorities start. These are the seeds that blossom into death camps.

Jewish people were declared obscene, as were LGBT people in Germany. They lost rights, then they were registered and forced into ghettos, until finally the death camps.

The moral test of a society is how that society treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadow of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.”
~ Hubert Humphrey, U.S. senator and
38th U.S. vice president (1911-1978)

61% of the lowest-wage workers do not have access to paid sick time. every single person should be able to prioritize their health over filling the pockets of a CEO.
that shouldn't be a crazy idea.

Will we be the generation that forfeits our democratic heritage to a modern despot? Biden is asking and only we can answer.

BIDEN'S QUESTION TO US

"When the attacks of Jan. 6 happened, there was no doubt about the truth," said the president. "But now as time has gone on, politics, fear, money have all intervened. And those MAGA voices who know the truth about Trump and Jan. 6 have abandoned the truth and abandoned our democracy. They've made their choice. Now the rest of us -- Democrats, independents, mainstream Republicans -- we have to make our choice."
